My kind of crazy...

Today was a bit crazy... but it was my kind of crazy!

World Lit... yeah, I am so over that class. I wish it would end tomorrow. There was almost a full class today, and it almost lasted the entire hour and fifteen minutes. That's a first. I was overjoyed... ha. Actually, I quit about midway through the 'lecture'... if you want to call it that? Yeah, Mr. Instructor compared something to Charlie Sheen... and of course idiot boy had to chime in and say something. Idiot boy wishes he could have Charlie Sheen's life. Why? "All of the partying! He's like the master of partying! And the sex... omg! The women. And allll of that cocaine!" I don't have time for that sh*t. I don't. And since today is my Friday (I get two Fridays, ha!) I said "frick it!" and quit. I grabbed my iPod and put on some Zeppelin. Mhm. I jammed to Led Zeppelin for the last half of class. The perks of sitting in the back corner!

It was hot today. Like, 70+ degrees hot. Without a breeze. It was wonderful. We'd probably have nice weather more often, if it weren't for the random breezes that come with it... hopefully this will stay around for a while. 

I spent most of my day in the campus library, as I do for most of my Tuesdays/Thursdays. Lately, I've been sitting on the staircase... I don't like crowded rooms. I guess I'm just weird like that. I decided to take a little walk and get some bottled water... in the process, I ran into someone I hadn't seen in a while. Hey, in my defense, he wasn't watching where he was walking, either. I had a good reason, I looked down at my iPod for a brief couple of seconds (I was mesmerized by Bono). But I am not complaining. Ha! I haven't fully seen this person in almost two months. We were both stunned as f*ck. A good stunned on both parts, I'm thinkin'. Omg... it was a mess. A cute mess. No words were spoken. Nope. Just eye contact and a lot of smiling. Yeah, apparently, I can't speak... but that's okay, because apparently, he can't speak either. Well, we can, just not to each other; it's only ever been small talk (once or twice). And noooo, I do not "have it bad", I just have it... I'm not entirely sure what "it" is, though? I guess I'm 'in like'... or something. 

So yeah, I was mesmerized by Bono/U2. U2 is absolute perfection.

This is what had my full attention, and this was the soundtrack to that random encounter that I just mentioned. (I was watching a live performance, though.)

Then math happened. Can that end tomorrow, too? That class seriously needs to end. The current chapter that we're on is absolutely ridiculous. Word problems? No thank you. Chapter 4 is apparently going to be worse? Lovely. We had a semi-short class. We had a teacher evaluation thing, so we only had half a lecture. The lady doing the evaluation was the lady who wrote our math book (who's also a teacher at the college). While watching our instructor instruct, she looked confused as all hell. Join the club, lady... this chapter is whack, I'm tellin' ya. Whack. And our instructor isn't making it any easier.

*News flash* The Marq Torien/Nathan Parsons look-alike is getting hotter. The guy with the hair wore a Batman shirt today... ha! 1) I love Batman. 2) Another reminder of that U2 song... double ha!

Anyway, I came straight home and watched "WKRP In Cincinnati". Yep, I've found another station that shows that wonderful program. A station on Dish! It just needs to show "The Monkees" and "The Partridge Family". That'll take away the pain from no longer having 'MeTV'... probably the only thing I miss about Comcast. Oh, and this station ALSO shows "Mr. Belvedere". A childhood favorite of mine!! I made sure to DVR all of this... heck to the yes! After "WKRP" I changed it to "ALF"... my beloved ALF. "The Facts of Life" came on after that, "The Hub" had some kind of special event night. I accidentally changed the channel and found "The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers"... mhm, yep! It was morphin' time!!! (I stayed with "The Facts of Life" and DVRd MMPR.) All week NickToons has been playing the different variations of the Power Rangers franchise... tonight just happened to be the night to actually watch. 

Tonight was my childhood night... haha!

When I was a kid, I used to have it bad for "Jason", the red ranger. What in the f*ck was I thinking? 7 year-old Liz, what were you thinking? Seriously?! hahaha!! I'm questioning that previous love... I really, am. Btw, nice anklet, "Jason"... it matches your earring(s). Oh, Liz... haha! But it really is funny watching all of these shows now. You pick up on things you miss when you're a child. And it's funny watching from an adult's perspective.

Today would've been perfect... but the Sharks failed me, once again. They lost... in a shootout. They get a point, but still. They started off the season perfectly... 8 straight wins... and it's been downhill from there. I believe they're at 9-6-4 now? Meh.

Buuuut that's not gonna ruin my night. No, sir. I had a hot date with Keith Urban (the ONLY reason I'm watching "American Idol" this season). "Mr. Adorable Bow Tie" advanced to the next round!! I had lasagna for dinner (two days early!)... aaaaand now I'm watching "Queen Rock Montreal" !!! 

FREDDIE!!!! ♥

Level 27

Today is my 27th birthday. 

27 feels no different than 26... and no different than 21, really.

I honestly think that people should quit aging after 21... no, make that 25.

Yeah, 25 is a good place to stop.

Today was a good day. No World Lit today, our instructor was out of town for a conference. I still had to endure math, though. That was one, giant, wtf? This chapter is going to suck. Mhm! I'm pretty sure of it. I spent most of the day in the campus library, it wasn't massively crowded today. Actually, there weren't many people on campus today, period...

I spent most of the day listening to music. 90% Def Leppard, 5% Duran Duran, and the other 5% consisted of jamming to Emerson Drive. I had pizza for dinner, fully equipped with Dr. Pepper. Birthday cake and ice cream. Also, I watched 2 hours of "ALF" earlier! And received a ton of birthday love from my peeps! Yeah, today was a good day. ♥

$$$, Pez dispensers, and Bob Marley coffee... oh, my! 

Yep, my family knows me very well.

But yeah... I'm 27. One year closer to 30. Woo.

I love James Dean.

I will forever love James Dean.

James Byron Dean (February 8, 1931-September 30, 1955)

James Dean would have been 82 years old today... I'm tellin' ya, Aquarians rule! James Dean is one of my favorite actors, even though he had a short acting career. Rebel, legend, and a true badass. Saying that he was "talented" would be an understatement. That man is a legend... and he will always be a legend. Dean was special and unique. He wasn't just an actor; he was a photographer, musician (he played the bongos, and he loved music), he was a dancer... he was an all-around artist. He also loved to read. That's sexy. Mhm! 

  

Yeah, I'm a little obsessed. Ha! Well, people think I'm obsessed... but I just have a huge admiration for him. The dude was talented and he was sex on legs. The man was gorgeous!  
Hubba-mother friggin-hubbaaaa!!  

Those eyes... that smile... and that face ♥

 But in all seriousness, I think he was a brilliant actor. He was so brilliant, that it's hard to tell when he was actually acting. He was a method actor... he became the character he was portraying. The characters in both "Rebel Without a Cause" and "East of Eden" were eerily similar to Dean, so it probably wasn't that hard for him to act those parts. Even though he was "acting", you really felt that was Dean was "Jim Stark" and "Cal Trask"... it was all genuine. His emotions were real... he gave everything and put everything he had into those roles. Everything was authentic... and boy did he shine in those movies. Those are such classic films... and they always will be. 

People always mention "Rebel Without a Cause" when talking about James Dean...

... and they should, because he was absolutely brilliant in that movie, and that pretty much made Dean "The Rebel"... however, I think his greatest work was "East of Eden". That's my favorite Dean film. I like the brooding, loner, emotionally disturbed (yet sweet), "Cal Trask." I also like that "Cal" was misunderstood... just like Dean... and just like me.

One of the reasons why I am so drawn to James Dean, is because I feel like I can semi-relate to him. Not because we're both Aquarians... but because of similar personalities... and the fact that he marched to the beat of his own drum (much like myself). I think if I were alive back in his day, and was around his age, we would've been BFF's. Mhm! Kindred spirits, if you will. Except for his love of driving/racing... I'd prefer to be in the passenger seat. But yeah, I see a little bit of him in myself. James was brooding, a bit of a loner, shy/quiet, and mysterious, but he was also quite silly! And adorable. Again, misunderstood...

(A young, adorable, James!)

AND HE LIKED CATS!!!! ♥

So yeah, I just pretty much love James Dean. I don't care what anyone says... he will always be one of my favorites! ♥

 Happy 82nd Birthday, Jimmy! I'll see ya on the other side... ♥

*P.S.- Shirtless Jimmy? Yeah, I've got that, too! ;)

First regulation loss for my Sharkies...

Sharks 1    Ducks 2

I'm not liking this. Not at all...

I don't have much to say about tonight's game. The Sharks had about 1 good shift, well, 2... if you count the goal scoring shift. But other than that... meh. I feel sorry for Thomas Greiss. I repeat: they cannot win, when they play like THIS. I know you can't win 'em all... but you can at least try. Geez...

I find it funny how the announcers keep blaming their loss on "bad breaks"... yes, there were a few stupid deflections... along with some poor officiating (again)... but come on, it's okay to admit when your team plays like poo. 

Also, Dan Boyle, please get well soon... apparently, your team plays like crap without you. Oh, the irony...

The next Sharks game is tomorrow, at the Shark Tank... they play John Cusack's team (Chicago Blackhawks). I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little worried...

 7-1-1

The sharks still have this... but for how long?

The Sharks' winning streak is over...

... but that's what happens when you play like that. You play like that... and you lose.

Restless. The Sharks were a bit restless. The fans were restless. There was a lot of action during the first period... even though it was a scoreless first period. The second period was scoreless as well. The Predators were the first ones to score: a wrist shot by Sergei Kostitsyn (assisted by Wilson) at 00:59 in the third period. The Sharks tied the game at 13:39; a power play goal (backhand) by Martin Havlat (assisted: by Gomez). Yet again, the Sharks scored late in the game.

The game went into OT... then it went into a shootout (third-straight shootout, by the way). Handzus, Clowe, and Pavelski shot for the Sharks... all three of them were denied goals. Legwand and Smith shot for the Predators... Smith scored and won it for the Preds. 

So yeah, the Sharks' winning streak is over, however, they still got a point. 

7-0-1 (15 points)

The Sharks are getting better on the PK... so they get praise for that! Also, nods to the defensemen... they did great tonight, except for the one goal that got past Niemi.

Ya can't win 'em all.  

The new winning streak will start on Monday ;)

Go Sharks, Go!!
